Perry County, Tennessee (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator(s): nf utvol (talk) 17:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a rural, sparsely populated county in Tennessee. It has been continually improved since reaching Good Article status in 2022, and was recommended to take to FAC by peer review in 2023. Additional updates, modifications, changes, and improvements have been done since then, and it's about as good as I can get it. Sources have been exhaustively researched and statements cited. At this point, I am running out of additional sources to keep building the page from, so I think it's as good a time as any to start the FAC process. Thanks in advance! nf utvol (talk) 17:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

  • Suggest adding alt text
  • Suggest scaling up the maps
  • File:Perry_County_Courthouse_(1868).jpg: when and where was this first published? Ditto File:Noah_Harder.png
Thanks! Added alt text to everything and scaled up the maps a bit. Let me know if you think they should be bigger. Regarding the image publication info, the info on their sourcing is in the file page on Commons, but they're both items in the collections of the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The exact original publication date and author are unknown, but they are both listed as out of copyright. Regarding the age pyramid, I went ahead and removed it. I'll work on building an updated one with sourcing. Thanks again for the image review!!! nf utvol (talk) 23:35, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing anything at the source link for the first item regarding copyright status - could you clarify where that's coming from? On the second, I see a claim it is out of copyright, but not one specific to the given tagging. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I looked again and you're correct about Perry_County_Courthouse_(1868).jpg, it doesn't have a copyright status on that page, however the court house depicted in this image burned in 1928. Additionally, the image was mounted on a card that had an estimated date of 1900 on it (I pulled the physical copy from the library and scanned it to get a higher resolution image), hence the date in the image's page. Considering that it would be impossible for it to be have been taken after 1928, and the library holding the image believed it to be from around 1900, I think it's fairly safe to say that any copyright that was placed on it has long since expired. Regarding the Noah_Harder.png, I updated the tag to just reflect no copyright instead of copyright expired since that better represents the notice on the source page. nf utvol (talk) 00:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
